Moore's Law For Razor Blades?

BartlebyScrivener writes "An article in The Economist examines Moore's Law as applied to razor blade technology: 'For the most cynical shavers, this evolution is mere marketing. Twin blades seemed plausible. Three were a bit unlikely. Four, ridiculous. And five seems beyond the pale. Few people, though, seem willing to bet that Gillette's five-bladed Fusion is the end of the road for razor-blade escalation. More blades may seem impossible for the moment — though strictly speaking the Fusion has six, because it has a single blade on its flip-side for tricky areas — but anyone of a gambling persuasion might want to examine the relationship between how many blades a razor has, and the date each new design was introduced'" I'm legally obligated to mention the Onion article that predicted this.

    shaving one's pubic hair is just plain perverted.

    The only reason people are doing it is to appeal the the paedophile side of their partner.

    So if your guy/girl demands a hairless crotch, report his/her pervie ass to the police before they molest some kids. Or at least inform his/her parents, neighbours, pastor, and employer.

    Hmm. I usually run out of hot water before I'm done jackin' it. Maybe I'll have to try it your way.
